Motif Number 1, located on Bradley Wharf in the harbor town of Rockport, Massachusetts, is a replica of a former fishing shack well known to students of art and art history as "the most often-painted building in America."[1][2] The original structure was built in 1840 and destroyed in the Blizzard of 1978,[1] but an exact replica was constructed that same year.[3]
Built in the 1840s as Rockport was becoming home to a colony of artists and settlement of fishermen, the shack became a favorite subject of painters due to the composition and lighting of its location as well as being a symbol of New England maritime life. Painter Lester Hornby (1882–1956) is believed to be the first to call the shack "Motif Number 1,"[2] a reference to its being the favorite subject of the town's painters, and the name achieved general acceptance.
Under normal circumstances I'm sure there would have been lots of footprints in the snow. A mid morning wander around the deserted village of Sakrisoy in the beautiful Lofoten Islands.
A parked car, seen on the usual Saturday morning trip in to town to do the shopping.
It is (I learn from a registration plate lookup) a 1974 Porsche, I guess a 911 of some sort.
This was taken when the centre of town was being dug up, you can maybe see the plastic roadwork barriers in the background. These meant the composition had to be quite tight at the rear of the car and angles were limited.

Had a great conversation with the owner of this charming home, turns out he was in the print trade years ago as a compositor. Kindred spirit, as I was a printer too.

Another in the AI junkyard series. This original photo was taken at a car show. And I would say it represents the back rows of the junkyard where the weeds grow higher due to less traffic. But it looks like where the good stuff sets
As well as having any number of delightful shades and colours, Dewhurst's Sylko have an equally wonderful range of names to accompany them. As I embarked on my "Embroider my World" project, I think I fell in love with the names of the Sylko colours as much as the colours themselves. This lovely shade of dusky pink is called "Biskara", named after Biskra, the capital city of Biskra Province in Algeria.
When it was my birthday last year, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas.
Those wonderful gifts are what has inspired me to create this series of "Embroider my World" images featuring my vintage bobbin collection. In this case my Dewhurst's Sylko Biskara reel of cotton which dates from between 1938 and 1954 sits atop some creamy ecru lace which has gained its colour after more than one and half centuries of life, as it is from the 1850s. The spool is accessorised by two Victorian glass bead tassels, sparking in the morning light, and an Art Deco pearl and rhinestone appliqué.
Belle Vue Mill, commonly known as Dewhurst’s, was built by Thomas Dewhurst in 1828. It opened in 1829 as John Dewhurst & Sons and was one of Skipton’s largest spinning and weaving mills. The mill’s position next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal meant that raw cotton could be shipped in by boats from Liverpool. Finished goods would then be sent back the same way ready for distribution. Coal to power the machine’s steam engines was also delivered by barge. In 1897 Dewhurst’s was bought by the English Sewing Cotton Co. It continued to produce Sylko, one of the mill’s most famous products. It was produced in over 500 colours and sold throughout the world. Sylko cottons are still available at haberdashers today.
Number three in the series of Nursery Rhymes - simple enough, but I loved the mice that MidJourney was able to produce with the original prompt.

Thank you very much for your comments and faves, regretfully, I am finding it increasingly difficult to reply to your comments, because of my very limited time on the internet, due to constant power interruptions in South Africa. I do read and appreciate every one of them! Thanks again!!

So I heard the bad news
Nobody likes me and I'm gonna die alone
In my bedroom
Looking at strangers on my telephone
Well, wouldn't you?
Wouldn't you like if I believed those words?
If I'm born to lose
I'll never try and I will never learn but
I've been looking at myself in the mirror, saying
"Don't leave me now, don't leave me now"
I've been looking at myself in the mirror, saying
"Don't leave me now" and I turn around like
"Oh my God like, I'm your number one fan
So iconic, like big, like stan, like
I would give my life just to hold your hand
I'm your number one fan
I'm your number one, number one fan"
So here's the bad news
I'm coming for everyone and coming on strong
New hair and new shoes
Yeah, I get what I like because I do what I want
